OUR CAUSES.
I heard the sound of a distant bugle,
On a cold and mournful day,
And then the sound of ponies,
As soldiers came charging our way.
I stepped out from my tipi,
Weapons of war in my hands,
My pony was painted for battle,
As we fought to protect our band.
They attack us early this morning,
Hoping to catch us asleep,
But we always posted sentries,
So our women would not have to weep.
The sound of rifles exploding,
Filled the still morning with dread,
For it signalled the start of the slaughter,
As some of our brothers fell dead.
They shoot to kill all before them,
Not caring when killing our young,
Our women they cut down with long knives,
For their day of judgement has come.
Their cries of excited frenzy,
As they slaughter without any pause,
Gives them brave heart in the killing,
And renews the faith in their cause.
I do not consider them heroes,
These men without honour or heart,
For this is the action of cowards,
And our causes are so far apart.

SPIRIT LANDS.
There are many sacred places,
That I hold so very close,
For in them live my forefathers
In the guise of a vision ghost.
They dwell within these Spirit Lands
So that I can come and see,
All the beauty of the lands
Where I can wonder free.
For when their bones have turned to dust
They form a layer upon the earth,
On which the people can walk upon
And from which we are granted birth.
These Spirit Lands are most sacred,
For they are the peoples heart.
And no path can make us leave it
Or distance keep us apart.
And when my time has finally come
To join all those who went before,
Carry my body to the Spirit Lands
So that I may live once more.

Here are the most effective ways to contribute to the T.R.E.A.T.Y. Total Immersion School:
1. Financial donations to the T.R.E.A.T.Y. Total Immersion School at www.treatyschool.org
2. Shopping on-line at http://www.onecause.com/causes/201022 and selecting the school as the cause you want to support. In this way, purchases that you would usually make on-line through Amazon, Target, Sears, etc, direct a percentage of the purchase price to the school.
3. Donations of building and greenhouse supplies. This could take the form of a Home Depot gift card or direct donations of a greenhouse kit or organic seeds.
4. Donations of art supplies suitable for 3 and 4 year olds. Things like pencils, crayons, paper and clay.
5. Gift certificate at Edmunds Scientific for the purchase of entry level microscopes for looking at bugs and leaves and such.
6. Our Google ad click campaign: It would be of great benefit if you could REGULARLY click on our Google ads on the websites. Money from this goes to fund the TREATY Total Immersion School. Perfectly legitimate fund-raising tool. On www.republicoflakotah.com, the ads are at the bottom of the articles. On www.russellmeansfreedom.com, the ads are on the right side.
7. Investment in the Lakotah Wind Trust which is in the process of developing a prototype wind turbine to be assembled here on the Reservation by the Lakotah.

"It can be 100 degrees in the shade one
afternoon and suddenly there comes a storm with hailstones as big as golf balls,
the prarie is all white and your teeth chatter. That's good - a reminder that you are just a small particle of nature, not so powerful as you think."
-Lame Deer, LAKOTA
No event, no relationship, no joy, no sadness,
no situation ever stays the same. Every setback
is only temporary. Even setbacks change. Why?
Because the Great Spirit designed the world to be constantly changing. We are not the
center of the universe, we are but a small part.
The whole is constantly changing, and we as humans are constantly participating in the
change. We have two choices, to resist change
or participate in the change. Every change can be resisted, and every change can be made in cooperation. What will I choose today, resistance or cooperation?
Great Spirit,
teach me to
make coopera-
tive changes.
